CHRIS CRAFT COMMANDER FORUM ® .......A photo-intensive technical reference file and ongoing newsletter regarding the original fiberglass Chris-Craft Commander series. This is an independent not-for-profit and non-commercial web site, not affiliated with the Chris Craft Commander Club ~~ or ~~ Chris-Craft Corporation. Our mission here is to "have fun and share information" about the Commander series (and those associated fiberglass boats on the Chris-Craft family tree) for your individual personal use, and by doing so help promote the good name of Chris-Craft, and help preserve, restore, and appreciate Chris-Craft boats. The main reference feature is the ever expanding MASTER INDEX File which contains what we believe to be the world's largest collection of documentation photos and technical information on the Chris-Craft Commander line of boats, (like these original brochure scans, featuring the iconic first 38 Commander styled by Fred Hudson, and many of the great Dick Avery renditions that followed) , (a huge collection of Chris-Craft 427 tuning and specification information), and a few words about how to use the forum.

We extend to you a cordial "WELCOME ABOARD !" Come on in, make yourself at home, we are a friendly group of enthusiasts, and we also appreciate the classic Chris Craft Roamer, Corsair, and Lancer boats too , as they are all on the same family tree and share much in common !

Response to Sorry I didn't take measurements when she was on the hard..
Hi Jim, We have had a problem with the Starboard tank, maybe the pickup. The gentleman who took it down from north alabama apparently got her to Mobile on a wing and a prayer. Maybe he picked up some bad fuel or ran the tanks too low? He did't leave us with much info at all, just his log and reciepts. She ran great across mobile bay but both engines killed on us about half way across. We switched over to one tank and she started right up again and we got her into a slip in Mobile bay. The port engine is not turning over but the star. is running fine, may be the fuel pump.
I'm thrilled with the 36 and still getting my feet wet with the larger boat and engines. A friend of mine who helped take it across Mobile Bay was amazed at how it handled 6&7ft seas. I'm heading out on some military duty for most of June and I just wanted to get it home in early may rather than get stuck in some marina half way home till early July. I need to run, thanks for all the information, I follow your posts and get great ideas from what you do with your 36. Corey
